Shijia Valley - Exclusive Dev Interview

Tactical Gamer’s very own AFSoccer has put together a new map for Battlefield 2 Project Reality – Shijia Valley. Shijia Valley is a 4 kilometer map pitting the forces of the United Kingdom against China in a superbly modeled environment of rolling hills and custom generated urban environments, dissected through the center by a large river. Shijia Valley has been highly rated by play testers at Tactical Gamer, garnering many positive comments.

Magicka Review

Magicka is a new title from the Swedish development team Arrowhead Game Studios. It is a spell casting centered game that features single and multiplayer game modes. A unique spell casting system and a sense of humor set it apart from any other game that I have played.

Magic is where Magicka shines. The magic system is original and wonderfully open-ended. The spells’ main ingredients are eight basic elements: water, life, shield, cold, lightning, arcane, earth, fire and two hybrid elements: steam and ice. Each spell may contain up to five elements. Couple that with five different targets: self, area, force, sword and magick, and you have yourself a delightfully intuitive and complex system.

Cast a spell with the fire element and the force target, and a jet of flame shoots out. Cast it as an area spell and fire explodes around you. Cast it on yourself and you will either dry yourself (if you were wet), defrost yourself (if you had been frozen), or catch on fire (and burn to death unless you cast water on yourself real soon). Some examples of spells are: Revive, Grease, Haste, Teleport, Charm, Thunderbolt, Rain, Blizzard, Meteor Shower, Congflagration, Summon Death, Summon Phoenix, Nullify, Raise Dead, Summon Elemental, Thunder Storm and many more....

Gaming Focus: Crimecraft

MMO Gaming Focus: Crimecraft

Greetings everyone, my name is Damion Rayne. I'm new to the TG community but have fallen in love with it. So I decided to start out running and do some reviews and articles on an area of the gaming world that I enjoy the most, MMO Gaming. So this article is the first in the line of what I hope becomes a series of articles later down the road.

This first article is a focus on a Free To Play game called "Crimecraft" which is a team based 3rd person shooter. So, lets get started and jump right in shall we?

What is Crimecraft?

Simply put by its' development team, "Crimecraft is a P.W.N.S" or otherwise known as a persistent world next-generation shooter. What does this mean to us? Well simply put this means that Crimecraft is a 3rd person action shooter with added bells and whistles that one would expect from a massive multi-player online game. Including skills, leveling, crafting and many other aspects which we will be going over later on in this article....

Breach Day-One Review

So you like destroying things? Making loud booms with high explosives? Shooting a wide variety of weapons?
DO WE HAVE A GAME FOR YOU!

Breach is the newest title from Atomic Games and was originally designed as a training simulator for the US government and then released as a title for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Of course, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that this is just another console port, but you couldnt be more wrong. Breach is a full fledged first person shooter that combines the best elements of contemporary titles such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call of Duty and Medal of Honor and pushes beyond.

The Basics:
Breach isnt your typical FPS by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, you have guns, a knife and various incendiary devices, but the depth that Atomic has gone to is really stunning. Breach works on a level based system for unlocks, and XP is needed to level yourself up as you play. But unlike the FPS titles we have today, XP isnt awarded solely for killing or accomplishing objectives, it's also awarded for simply playing the game actively.
